A New Population of High Redshift Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, P. A. Price +23
The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine…
The gamma-ray burst GRB060614 requires a novel explosive process
A. Gal-Yam, D. Fox, P. Price +26
Over the past decade our physical understanding of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has progressed rapidly thanks to the discovery and observation of their long-lived afterglow emission. Lo…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of GRB 050820A: An Exceptionally Energetic Event Followed from Start to Finish
S. B. Cenko, M. Kasliwal, F. A. Harrison +25
We present observations of the unusually bright and long gamma-ray burst GRB 050820A, one of the best-sampled broadband data sets in the Swift era. The gamma-ray light curve is mar…
A Spectacular Radio Flare from XRF 050416a at 40 days and Implications for the Nature of X-ray Flashes
A. M. Soderberg, E. Nakar, S. B. Cenko +26
We present detailed optical, near-infrared, and radio observations of the X-ray flash 050416a obtained with Palomar and Siding Springs Observatories as well as HST and the VLA, pla…
An Energetic Afterglow From A Distant Stellar Explosion
D. A. Frail, P. B. Cameron, M. Kasliwal +10
We present the discovery of radio afterglow emission from the high redshift (z=6.295) burst GRB 050904. The peak flux density for this burst is similar to typical low-redshift gamm…
Relativistic ejecta from XRF 060218 and the rate of cosmic explosions
A. M. Soderberg, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Nakar +22
Over the last decade, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs) have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN). While…
